Simple Hacks to Clean a Whiteboard in Few Minutes
Materials required
- Clean Microfiber cloth or any other soft cloth
- Isopropyl alcohol, hand sanitizer, baby wipes or water mixed with dishwashing liquid
Method
- Before the stain removal process begins, any writing on board must be removed. If one has used a permanent marker on the board, it can be very difficult to get rid of. One way to get rid of permanent marker writing on the board is by writing over it with a dry erase marker. Then, wiping away the whole thing with a microfiber cloth will remove the writing from the board completely.
- Once the writing is gone, one can focus on the stains left on the board by markers. These stubborn stains can be effectively removed with cleaning agents like isopropyl alcohol, hand sanitizer, and the like.
- All one needs to do is put some of the cleaning agents on a clean microfiber cloth and rub the board.
- Circular motions work best for this process, as it gets rid of the grime and stains much more thoroughly.
- While doing this, one can see for themselves the ink and stubborn stains melting away, and the board is restored to its initial state of cleanliness.
- After this, the board needs to be wiped dry with a dry cloth.
- This process can be repeated if there are too many stains that need removal, or if the stains are too stubborn or difficult to remove.
- If the board is too big, one can divide it into sections and then take up the cleaning process bit by bit.
